Subject: RE: [amibroker] Re: ANNOUNCEMENT
- PowerScan Beta 1.21 available
Well
put and I totally agree. I would hate to see TJ lose the power of AFL to meet
the needs of those users more programmatically challenged but there is a
significant number of users who are unable to tap into the power of AB and
Powerscan meets their needs perfectly. As for a licensing fee....$40 is cheap
for the effort William put into this project. At 99 AB is cheap together they
are both significantly cheaper than any of the competing software (MS,TS,etc)
If you look at PS as nothing but a training program it is still cheaper than a
HGS CD or any on line seminar that relates to TA
<SPAN

<SPAN
class=057505714-03062003>IMO, based on other languages, the most
useful think over the long run is for someone to write a tutorial entitled
"AFL for Dummies."

Jayson
